I was changing my sparks plug and got the first three is fine, but the last one broke and the only thing left in there in the threads and I can't get it out. :banghead: Is there any thing I can do so at home to get the shell out. A friend told me there was some tool called an "Easy Out" or something, does this really work and what size would I need. If anyone can help me out Let me know.
Thanks

Yes it does work. After removing the remains of the spark plug, check all the pieces to determine nothing fell into the cylinder. If there are any pieces in the cylinder, you will have to remove the head.

Easy Out to the rescue :grinyes:

This time put some anti-sieze on the threads before you install the new plugs.

ok, no nothing down there, but do you know which size to use

They are saying AFTER you remove the rest of the plug.

Next time use Antiseize on the threads and don't tighten them down so much.

Don't overtighten them, but torque them down correctly.

Nah, you tighten them down until they are snug, nothing more.

People don't have to go out and purchase an expensive torque wrench to chage their plugs.

True, but they don't need it for a plug change.

Snug as a bug and you will be good.
